Olive loved reading her devotions, crossword puzzles, swinging on her swing on the porch and playing Pinochle, a tradition carried on by her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed long car rides with her late husband and their beloved "granddog," Casper. Olive was the life of the party and was always able to make everyone laugh. Most of all, she cherished spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.
